Bruce nah, they are 2 seperate pipes that bolt on, 1 to each header. The
drivers side is a 2 piece assembly for the long run to the other side of
the truck where the cat is located, it has a slip fit joint that
requires a weld. The passenger side is virtually a straight shot, 1
piece. All in all, a real clean looking, well functioning system.
